<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param><FontFamily><param>Times New 
Roman</param>[<FontFamily><param>Arial</param>Pike books are a bit more mature, 
violent, and bloody than Stine's
Fear Street series.] </color>This one opens with Alisa and Ray thinking
they were the last vampires but one day read of a series of brutal
murders in LA.  When Alisa goes to check it out she meets a
vampire more powerful than herself which could only mean he was
created by her creator who she thought was dead.  This starts a
gruesome adventure to kill this new vampire and his gang.  Alisa
calls on her gods of India (where she was a human many years
ago) and realizes what she must sacrifice to kill this new vampire.
This 196 page book ends in a "to-be-continued" fashion although
the story line is completed.  Although I do not care for this genre, I
find myself really getting wrapped up in the head of this strong
female character and vampire.  This book is gruesome, with a lot of
blood flowing.
